    Lake and fly suggestions for Olallie

    Not a single person I talked to had caught or seen any of the lunkers. But then again, I'm not sure how many people were targeting the big boys.

    Lake and fly suggestions for Olallie

    Thanks everybody. I got back last night and here's my report--Awesome time! The bite was on and everybody was catching fish with just about everything. The 8-10" stockers were caught consistently with powerbait off the bottom and worms under bobbers as you would expect. The slightly bigger...

    Lake and fly suggestions for Olallie

    I'm headed up to Olallie for the first time this week. Been wanting to go for years. I'll have my super ultra light spinning gear "just in case" but I want to focus on fly fishing this time. I'm looking for a little advice: 1. Recommendations on which lake has good fishing and camping that we...

    Columbia river shad fishing

    We were just out this morning testing some new styles of our lead free shad darts at Bonneville Damn this morning. There are TONS of Shad in the river right now. We got 20 of them. We were using about 1oz sinkers with about a 3ft leader to the shad dart. Cast and retrieve with the weight...

    Where to buy vinyl jig paint locally

    I did find it at Fishermans, however, like much of their inventory, it was hit or miss as to which colors were in stock. I got out of that pinch we were in by finding a few of the 2oz jars at Wholesale Sports which kept our production going until our late shipment of pain arrived--but it was...

    Corkie question

    I haven't fished with corkies in a while, but when I did I would try to make sure that the hook was large enough so that the hook was larger than the corkie. That is, the distance between the hook point and the shank was just a tad larger than the diameter of the corkie. This is to ensure the...

    Did a little exploring

    John! Man, thanks for you posts and blog. Been doing a lot of research on carp fly fishing and it's always you that comes up. Love it. Great photos too. I rarely have time for full-day fishing trips anymore but I've seen some carp around Kelly park here in NoPo which is about 15 minutes from me...

    Leader/tippet recommendations for single-handed steelhead rod

    I was planning on swinging. I primarily fish Winter Steelies but considering that season is ending, I'll hope to get out after Summers at least once or twice this year. My favorite spots are usually about 3 to 12 feet deep.

    Leader/tippet recommendations for single-handed steelhead rod

    I have a new 9'6 single-handed 8wt I got for steelheading on the Wilson, Trask, and other coastal streams. Most of my favorite spots would require very short casts. I have Teeny T300 line and would like some tips on lengths and sizes for tying up some leader/tippets. I'm on a pretty tight budget...

    I haven't seen it at Fisherman's... unless I'm looking in the wrong place? I used to see the pro-tec powder paint. You talking about Fisherman's up by the Lowe's in NoPo?

    Wilson report 02/04

    I'm the same way. I don't even remove the wild fish from the water and since I fish solo, no chance of getting a photo. I guess I should get a fishing buddy.

    Wilson report 02/04

    Hit the Wilson this morning and the water is at a pretty good level. Got 2 hookups and 1 nice wild fish caught and released. Both hookups were on a silver-plated #5 spinner with pink tape on the back of the blade. The other folks I talked to weren't having any luck but there were tons of people...
